Winter's Tail: Virtual Field Trip Teaching Guide

Get ready to take your students on an exciting trip to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, located off the Gulf of Mexico in Clearwater, Florida. Below are all the resources you need to prepare your students for this learning adventure.

This live classroom event will introduce students to a courageous dolphin named Winter, star of the children's book Winter's Tail, who was just three months old when she became caught in a crab trap, resulting in the loss of her tail.

Your class will visit Winter in her home, watch how she uses her prosthetic tail, learn from her trainers, interact with authors of the book, and learn about dolphins and marine life. Click here for a field trip agenda!
